Long time patron of the RL. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The updates to the library are very nice. The childrens section is one of the highlights for my kids. Also, the ease of self checkout makes every trip a breeze. Thanks

Absolutely fantastic library for kids with a huge childrens area. Be sure to say hi to Rose the blue-tongued skink!

Everything was set up awesome, everyone keeping their distance, masks were required. The worker thier today was absolutely fantastic, she was very polite & friendly & helpful. Thank you for having her there.

Great historical local library. Great resources and helpful staff. Love this library.

Super cool old building. The kids section is ocean themed. That is great. Came in to do quickbooks while on vacation. Wifi goes in and out. Seeing this awesome library was worth coming in even though I couldnt do my work. Spend 30 minutes walking around. Smile at a bum. They need positive affirmation.

I love going to the Rosenberg Library . I am a regular there, staff is always so nice and helpful. They keep it clean so I feel safe. Everyone had a mask on there too!

Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great childrens department, full of diverse books. Wonderful programs.

During this pandemic time, it was great to visit the library. It is somewhere to go for a short time and bring back books. Good for the kids! Thank you for your support.

The library is one of the best things in Galveston. Its very accessable and open to all of the public. .

This was my first and most likely last visit. The lady at the front desk was very rude and seemed annoyed when we asked questions about the elevator. I can understand that it wasnt working, maybe put up a sign so no one bothers you. I was so looking forward to visiting but now I regret taking the time.

This library has it all come by and check it out ️

Always a pleasant experience.

They have a nice a computer lab , the lab help not so much stank attitudes, but throughout the rest of the library the staff including the security guards are very polite & helpful. They harass the people & if they feel like it turn off your computer from the computer lab desk. SMH

I would give it a a 5* but due to the virus seats are really limited

Its a library.They have lots of books for you to read and the building itself is actually quite pretty.But dont you dare get sleepy, and God forbid if you decide to rest your head on your hands for a second to catch some rest, even if you have been studying at a table for hours on end reading books and doing work on your laptop. The staff will quickly awaken you and reprimand you for your grave trespass. I found this out by watching my friend try to take a 5 minute power nap after studying for a few hours.It.Was.Hilarious.

Hernun (sorry if I misspelled his name) was super helpful in acquiring a book I’ve been on hold for. I appreciate his courtesy over the phone each time I’ve called! My family also enjoys the children’s section very much! I highly recommend this library.

Completely amazing library from basement to ceiling. Children library in basement is awesome at ever area well thought and designed. New release movies, computers, and easy to access books. Second floor on up is adult books, lots of books on tape and wide open comfortable areas to enjoy it. Museum on 4th floor that is currently under renovation but will be great.

Quiet, lovely spot to spend time on a rainy day on the island.

Terrible place. staff were extremely racist and discriminating. also, they curse at you, even if you are a kid.

Great library

Very nice!

Wonderful museum and free! Galveston history and art in a beautiful, vintage building.

It seems as if being friendly and helpful is a requirement to work here. I love this library

Quiet comfortable place to work with good WiFi. Plenty of parking.Beautiful building. The museum was closed for renovation. Good childrens section. It was closed New Years Eve 2018.

Yes, the library is wonderful. Books, movies, historical displays, and a fine computer lab. What really helped us was the ability to use a conference room with teleconference capabilities to connect three locations for legal mediation. For no fee we orchestrated a hearing and won!! Thanks.

A wondeful collection of knowledge

Love the selection they have for kid books. Great reading programs too!!

Love this library! All of the librarians are amazing. So nice and helpful. The book selection is amazing. This is hands down one of the best libraries I have ever been to.

A nice place to read and study. Parking spaces available outside.

The history and architecture of this place are second to none in Texas as far as Im concerned. As a library its pretty nice. If youre looking to do research about the island this would be the ideal place to do so. Only problem is it tends to be a hotspot for homeless people. Wouldnt be surprised if you caught a guy washing himself from the sink in the bathrooms.

They sell donations and old books very expensive. I think its a movement that doesnt suit here.

Just in town visiting. I must say that this is the nicest childrens department Ive seen in a while. Not the biggest, but the cleanest and best organized. Great lighting.

This is a fantastic place. The people are nice and the collection is pretty good. The check out process is so simple. There is nothing that I feel not satisfied about.

We have the best library!! I love everything about it. The childrens center & awesome programs, the museum, the vast amount of books, CDs & DVDs are all so amazing. Thank you for being a great contribution to our community

Awesome Library- I just suggested an edit for the hours, hopefully someone sees it! Theyre now open from 9AM to 9PM on Mon-Thurs, which is think is awesome for a learning center to increase their hours!

This is a wonderful library; it includes an extremely nice and helpful staff, large selection of books and computers, and is clean, bright, and welcoming. I will be a frequent flyer here!

The Rosenberg library is wonderful.

I really love this library, they keep it clean and very organized. Every one is helpful and professional especially the security guard he went out of his way to help me find my car keys. I was very embarrassed and frantic and he not only calmed me down but he assured me we would find them and we did!

We had time to kill on our vacation and was kinda tired of being outdoors. So we went here for the Hercules play for our boys. They played and read while they waited for the play. while me and my husband finally got to relax. It is a great place to go and so much fun!

Chubby white lady with short curly hair yelled at my three yr old because her chair slipped back and her headphones were on.

Youve got to visit this building. It is an architectural beauty. Also, there is a museum on the forth floor and admission is free.

I always find the books I need for school here. The people are very friendly. Plus, nice environment for all ages!

Nicely laid out library with good selection of books along multiple genres. Currently under reservation, but once thats completed I expect Id give it 5 stars.

Librarians dont care..PEOPLE ASLEEP FOR HOURS IN THERE WHILE CUSTOMERS CANNOT FIND A CHAIR..PEOPLE CHARGING THEIR PHONES...NOTHING WRONG HERE..BUT TALKING LOUD AND CUSSING...THIS IS A GHETTO LIBRARY...

While it has its charms, this art gallery has entirely too many books for my tastes.

Best and oldest library in Texas!

Appears to be a very good, very family-friendly, library with a wonderful free history museum on the fourth floor. Check this out if youre touring Galveston.

Beautiful library with friendly staff and plenty of resources for everyone.

Love this library, out of every library ive been to this is the best one ive ever been to. the things they do with the kids like arts and craft or story time or even story time with super heros. they also do summer reading programs and you get prices for the books you read and at the end if you reach the goal they give you, the kids get a trophies. they have the 4 floors which works well because the kids can run and also have a limited time to play on the computer while the adults are upstairs not hearing a sound =. love this place and even though i moved i will come back always

Great childrens section and very helpful staff.

Its a big library with a lot of different options and a good place for children to relax while also having fun & learning.

My husband, daughter and I happened to see the library as we was waiting for the historic galveston tour. Was able to catch their yearly book sale. We so enjoyed it,and everyone was soooo nice there. Loved it.one of our highlights on our galveston visit!. Wouldnt mind coming back the same time every year!! Also,thank you,thank you for turning in my daughters new phone she happened to leave there. Whew!!

Getting a Library cardThe library is gorgeous. Lots of interesting info and displays on upper floors. However, as a new resident I had great difficulty getting a checkout card. They insisted on an electric bill which is in my roommates name. This was not sufficient. I showed them my lease. Since its month to month that too was a problem for some unknown reason. The gal at the desk was fairly rude and I it seemed she had more important things to chat with co worker about then assist me .I had no other bad experience with personnel who were eager to help ( ie. Comp lab, copy machine, locating info). ,I had a much easier time getting a driver licence at DPS :-;-)

Lovely place to work for a few hours during a road trip, with bonus of art and historical museum to enjoy. Thank you!

Beautiful library. Everyone is so nice.

Fabulous childrens area

I went to the library on Monday 1/12/14 they have a black man who is a guard at the door, he told me I could not bring my luggage in the library with me, I am a person who is a tourist here. I dont have a car. He called security and I asked if I could leave the luggage somewhere in a closet or near the door, he said no. He said I had to talk with the director of the library on the 4th floor to bring the luggage in the library. So I said, Okay, I will, he then told me that I had to leave the luggage outside on the front steps of the library and leave it outside. I had a total fit with this black security guard about it. This is a tourist area and they are treating tourist like we are stupid people. CLOSE DOWN the library because you people are not smart enough to run one.

Very nice building
